Spores: medium sized, hyaline under the microscope, smooth, spherical and 5-7 µm in diameter, not becoming bluish grey in iodine solutions. Cystidia: absent. _Habitat_ & _Distribution_: Common amongst grass in fields or on grassy path sides in woodland. _General Information_: _Clavulinopsis corniculata_ is recognised by the branched habit and the smooth spores; _Ramaria ochraceo-virens_ is of similar form, but has an overall duller colour and turns green on bruising, grows in pinewoods and has finely roughened brownish spores. _Calocera viscosa_ also has an erect, bright golden or orange-yellow fruit-body which becomes more orange on drying. It is repeatedly branched and usually has a long, tough-rooting base. However, the spore-print is dirty yellowish and the fruit-body, which grows on coniferous wood, is viscid and elastic, a character reflected in the name ‘viscosa’. Microscopically the basidium of _Calocera_ is shaped like a tuning-fork and is not clavate as in _Clavulinopsis corniculata_. It appears to be more related to the jelly-fungi (see p. 180). _Illustrations_: _Clavulinopsis corniculata_--LH 55; NB 6; WD 104³. _Calocera viscosa_--Hvass 304; LH 225; NB 149³; WD 107⁸. ~Typhula erythropus~ Fries. _Cap_: absent. _Fruit-body_ up to 20 mm high. _Description_: Fruit-body: upper fertile portion club-shaped and not more than half the length, white, surmounting a reddish brown, thread-like, often wavy or twisted stem which is attached at its base to an ellipsoid bead-like structure, called a sclerotium. Spore-print: white. Spores: oblong, smooth, hyaline under the microscope, 6-7 × 2 µm in size and not becoming bluish grey in iodine solutions. Cystidia: absent. _Habitat_ & _Distribution_: Not uncommon on dead leaves and twigs or dead herbaceous stems. ~Pistillaria micans~ Fries. _Cap_: absent. _Fruit-body_: up to 10 mm high. _Description_: Club-shaped or oblong, rose-pink hardly differentiated from the similarly coloured stem, and arising at most from a small pad of filaments. Spore-print: white. Spores: broadly ellipsoid to pip-shaped, smooth, hyaline under the microscope, about 10 × 6 µm (8-11 × 5-7 µm) in size and not becoming bluish grey in iodine solutions. Cystidia: absent. _Habitat_ & _Distribution_: Not uncommon on dead herbaceous stems and leaves, especially those in damp places. _Illustrations_: _T. erythropus_ WD 105¹⁰. _P. micans_ WD 105⁷.
